Platinum Predaking now shipping from Amazon

Die cast. Could be mold degradation. He seemed a bit slouchy at the shoulders and the legs come off without much force at all.

That could just be the sheer weight though ; I too have the 2010 Takara reissue (Went through the same levels of amazement & joy as yourself here ) and whilst my connections are tight, there is definite signs of a lot of weight being bared.

That effort on Amazon's part though is absolutely deplorable , I'd seriously consider writing up a review on the site if only to let others know what to expect.

That is disgusting from Amazon
Mental note not to order from them
